I had a journal of all the albums I own on my last account, so I feel a need to recreate it. I'm not sure why I do this, considering that I have RYM for cataloging now, but since I've done it so far, there's no reason to stop now, I suppose. These are on CD unless it's marked otherwise.

As the decade comes to a close, I decided it was time to sit down with my cd’s and iTunes library and come up with the best albums of the last 10 years. This list was originally supposed to be a top 25 list, then after compiling a list of about 150 records I decided that would narrow the field down too drastically. I decided to go with 52 because it’s the dyslexic version of 25.

The criteria for making the list were as follows : the album had to have been release after January 1, 2000 up until the end of 2009, it needed to be a full length (sorry excellent Robbers EP’s, Twilight Singers EP, and Lawrence Arms EP’s), and it could not be a compilation, re-release, or live album. After a couple weeks of narrowing this list, I present to you my top 52 of the 00’s or 2000’s or whatever it’s called.
